GNASH (A murloc)

My first upload! ;) Please leave some feedback / a comment

(I don't have a paypal.me link, so anyone wanting to tip, please use my email address with paypal, "wiredkiwi-at-gmail-dot-com")

This is "Gnash", a model of an older, warty, ill-tempered 3-toothed Murloc that I sculpted for my son. I have tested the print (high res, 4 shell layers, 210c/67c), and after several iterations to ensure sufficient strength, it's all good!

I have uploaded three versions of the STL - one without a base (for modelers to tweak), one with a base (for printing), and one with a base and some additional free-floating removable artifacts that will force your favorite cutting software to generate extra/stronger supports (as the spines are waaaay up and unless you're very confident, your printer may have issues keeping things stable up to this height.)

The model will print with a LOT of supports, so be prepared to settle in for a marathon cleaning session with care taken not to bash off the spines - the rewards are worth it!

I strongly suggest that the model is printed with a Z of 85mm +, and that you add at least 1 layer to your shell width for strength in the ankles and wrists (I used 4)

I'm happy to receive requests for other poses/creature/monster/fantasy models ;) I'm also happy to receive tips if you find the STL's useful :D

Yes

Resolution:

Filament:
PLA White 
 

Notes: 

Add an extra layer of shell width, for required structural strength. Take the time to add extra supports before printing wherever possible due to Z-height, or use the STL file that comes with free-floating artifacts designed to force extra-strong additional supports automatically.
Be sure to use a height of 85mm or more ... test printing was done at 85mm.
